While naivety implies a lack of understanding or awareness of potential challenges or negative outcomes, optimism is a mindset that focuses on the potential for positive outcomes and the belief that things will work out for the best. Optimistic individuals are not blind to the potential obstacles or difficulties, but they choose to approach situations with a positive attitude and a belief in the possibility of success.

Are pessimism and optimism nihilism?
Pessimism and optimism are not necessarily nihilism. Pessimism is the belief that the world is inherently negative and that things will not improve, while optimism is the belief that things will ultimately work out for the best.

Cruel Optimism
A relation of cruel optimism exists when something you desire is actually an obstacle to your flourishing.Offering bold new ways of conceiving the present, Lauren Berlant describes the cruel optimism that has prevailed since the 1980s, as the social-democratic promise of the postwar period in the United States and Europe has retracted.People have remained attached to unachievable fantasies of the good life—with its promises of upward mobility, job security, political and social equality, and durable intimacy—despite evidence that liberal-capitalist societies can no longer be counted on to provide opportunities for individuals to make their lives “add up to something.” Arguing that the historical present is perceived affectively before it is understood in any other way, Berlant traces affective and aesthetic responses to the dramas of adjustment that unfold amid talk of precarity, contingency, and crisis.She suggests that our stretched-out present is characterized by new modes of temporality, and she explains why trauma theory—with its focus on reactions to the exceptional event that shatters the ordinary—is not useful for understanding the ways that people adjust over time, once crisis itself has become ordinary.Cruel Optimism is a remarkable affective history of the present.
